A quick look at Toy Story 3: The Video Game

I’ve always been curious about Pixar. Living in Berkeley, I often pass by the Emeryville animation studio on my way to Home Depot or Best Buy. Usually, its gates are closed, but for once, Pixar opened them up. When I entered, I was expecting to see magic elves frolicking around a chocolate river with a purple dragon circling overhead, but there was no such thing. What I did see was a few short clips of the upcoming Toy Story 3, and just as importantly, I had a chance to play Toy Story 3: The Video Game.

“What’s the big deal?” you ask. “Aren’t movie games supposed to be bad?” Well, Avalanche Software and Pixar have worked closely together for the past 2 1/2 years to create a compelling title. It’s not going to be a rehash of the movie — well not all of it. The game will be divided into two halfs a Story Mode, which lets fans play through memorable film scenes, and a Toy Box mode, which is the open-world part of the game. Although the former has its merits, it’s the latter that has me abuzz.

Avalanche CEO John Blackburn said that the goal of Toy Box mode is to let players feel as if they’re playing with Andy’s toys. Woody, Buzz and Jesse (the three playable characters who play roughly the same) have to save a Western town from bandits. That’s roughly the narrative of this mode, but it’s what players can do accomplish missions and introducing different toys into the world that’s fascinating. Toy Story 3 is basically a sandbox game for the younger set similar to Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. They can do pretty much anything they want just like children would with their own toys. They can toss cows or shrink or embiggen them. They can climb atop cliffs and knock donkeys off.

But what I like about Toy Story 3: The Video Game is that the missions are generally fast and easy to do. Because this title is geared toward a wide range of ages, the developer, Avalanche Software, had to make the game more accessible with its mission design. Players will catch bandits and throw them in a jail that they’ll have to buy. They’ll have to give hair cuts to its denizens by picking them up and tossing them into a barber shop. All of this is done in three to five minutes tops, but they’re extremely satisfying.

From the short time, I spent with the game I liked the direction it’s going. It does feel like you’re playing with toys and taking part in make-believe adventures you remember as kid. The whimsy of buying Zurg’s tower and seeing flying saucers abduct bandits and the horses, essentially changes the dynamic of the world. Add more toys and the play ecosystem gets more complex. It’s fun and fascinating seeing how they all react to each other.

I’ll get more in depth with the gameplay and such later in the week, but for now, enjoy the video of our visit above.

Tractor is a machine to be used for heavy work. Work of tractor can do depends on the size of it, number of attachments, and capacity.
